A couple of weeks ago I went to Mothercare to purchase a dummy clip. I know that people are divided on the issue of whether to give a child a dummy but we find it useful to help settle Edward at night. We are only planning on using it until Edward is 3 months old….

The Gallery: Week 11
The theme for The Gallery this week is: Men. Pictures of the men in your life. There are two men in my life, my lovely husband and brand new baby boy. In the short time since he was born (7 weeks!) I have managed to take more photographs of the baby than my husband during…
The Gallery: Week 10
It’s taken me a while to come up with a picture for this weeks’ The Gallery. I have spent ages looking through my albums. The theme was to paint a picture of the world we live in: The hidden bits, the bits you feel are special and people should know about. The bits people wouldn’t…
Cath Kidston iphone case
Easy Living magazine had a choice of two Cath Kidston bags with this months issue. I never buy the magazine but did today-just for the bag. I chose the pop flowers print and have already used it to carry nappies and bottles for a trip out today! The magazine also has a 15% voucher for…
The Gallery: a portrait

Clean washing
Who would have thought a 6-week old could make so much mess? In a typical day Edward seems to go through at least one clothes change, 8 muslins, 3 bibs and a mattress fitted sheet. We also learnt today that certain brands of bib melt in the tumble drier. Oops. Life has calmed down enough…
Good news
Yay, my husband was finally discharged from hospital this afternoon. After 31 trips to visit him (often with poor little Edward in tow) I think we are all relieved he has been allowed to recuperate at home.
Catching up
I meant to photograph Edward every day but funnily enough sleep deprivation, dirty nappies and lack of time have prevented me. I’ve brought together some of my favourite photographs into mosaics which I will aim to continue uploading every week/month for as long as possible: Week 1 Week 2Week 3 Week 4 Week 5
Taggies
Taggies are cute comforters for babies, often made from two different fabrics and edged with ribbons. Edward received a lovely taggie from Claire and at 5 weeks he is very into holding, grabbing and pulling, so this was a perfect gift. (This isn’t a great photo of him in action – but doesn’t he look…
